explain how I use ~orderless~ and why its power does not result in
lots of false positives.
With ~orderless~ we can also define so-called "style dispatchers".
With ~orderless~ we can also rely on so-called "style dispatchers".
These are characters attached to the input which instruct ~orderless~
to use a specific pattern for that component. My =prot-orderless.el=
defines such style dispatchers as postfix operators: they are added to
the end of the input ([[#h:114c6e8c-697a-43e9-8fd9-52872997e1c9][The =prot-orderless.el= library]]). The equals
sign takes the input literally, the dot interprets it as a file type
extension, while the tilde means to match the input either at the
beginning or the end. Granted, these are overkill most of the time. It
is easier to just continue typing to narrow the list of candidates.
Still, they do have their uses.
to use a specific pattern for that component, regardless of what the
~orderless-matching-styles~ configuration is. I used to have my own
style dispatchers, but realised that I was not using them enough. The
default method has also been updated since I did my configuration to
support an affixation method (prefix OR suffix) for style dispatching.
This method reads the ~orderless-affix-dispatch-alist~ to determine
how to interpret the input. From that list, the most obvious advantage
to me is the =!=, which is a logical =NOT=: it is a very easy way to
remove something from the list of candidates while typing in the
minibuffer. The =&= is potentially useful because it matches the
annotations displayed by ~marginalia~ ([[#h:bd3f7a1d-a53d-4d3e-860e-25c5b35d8e7e][The =prot-emacs-completion.el= section to configure completion annotations (~marginalia~)]]).
The remaining dispatch characters affect how the input is treated as a
literal string, initialism, et cetera, which is not as useful to me.
